Because she is learning a diferent way on doing the math but if you add 1\6 to 5\6 then that will be a total of 5/8 so thats why its like that.

Well,5/6 is closer to one than 5/8 is,just add 1/6+5/6 and then you get 1,adding 1/8 to 5/8 is only 6/8,so that's how you can tell how it is greater! Hope this helps your daughter!

What is the equation of a line, in general form, that passes though points (-1,2) and (5,2)?

Tom [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the equation of the line. first calculate the slope using the slope formula.

$m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} = \frac{2-2}{5--1}= \frac{0}{6} = 0$

Since the slope of this line is 0, it is horizontal and has the form y=b where b is the y-coordinate. So y = 2 is the equation. In general form, it would be y-2 = 0

A farmer grows two types of grain in his fields. He has a seed budget of $17,000.00 and has spent $9,200.00 to plant wheat seed

Helen [10]

Okay so first you have to subtract 17000 from 9200 to see how much money you have left to spend. Then once you get that number, which is 7800, you have to see what's that maximum number of acres that you can get. So you divide 7800 from 41.00 and you can get your answer. Your answer will be 190 acres. 190 acres is the highest you can go without going over budget.
